Chemical Reactions

In science, students are learning about chemical reactions. Students combined citric acid and baking soda with water to create a chemical change.  Next, they wrote in their science notebook their observations. Some students wrote that they saw fizzing and bubbling, other students noticed that the liquid became cooler.  Any time a chemical reaction occurs something new is created, and students are trying to figure out what new substance was formed.  We will find out for sure, tomorrow.

During writers' workshop, students published their Robot Stories.  They are bringing home a copy of it tomorrow.  Their abilities in writing narrative stories have improved greatly.

In math, students continue to work on fractions. Today they learned how to find a fraction of a whole number (1/2 of 22 or 1/6 of 30)
